Windows 10: syswow64 powershell

Randomly scattered throughout my day, there will be a pop up that says something along the lines of syswow64 powershell and it gets quite annoying while I'm on my pc. Is there any way to fix this? I've tried a clean boot and it did not work

PowerShell instead of Commandline in Creators Update

Interestingly enough my personal laptop just got the update...and still has Command Prompt listed, not PowerShell...

Edit: Not that it matters...I use both regularly. *Toast :toast:

 

Select C:\winddows\SysWow64\cmd. exe

Ah - I see what you mean. The link was in a more recent post found by searching for
C:\windows\SysWow64\cmd.exe

so I assumed it was directly relevant.

As it suggests, but with a change to use what you are seeing in Win 10:

What happened before this started happening?
Did you install or uninstall anything?
Change anything?
How long has this been happening?

If it started recently, do you have a suitable System Restore point you could use?

 

PowerShell randomly poping-up in tool bar

Hello,

Just to verify, do you have any scheduled tasks that uses Powershell? Scheduled tasks makes Powershell window appear periodically on your computer, therefore we suggest that you check the Task Scheduler. Here are the steps:

• Click on Start.
• In the search bar, type Task Scheduler and click on
  
  Task Scheduler in the results.
• Under Active Tasks, check for any tasks that use Powershell and the scheduled time.

If the issue still persist, we suggest that you run a Windows Defender scan to see if it will pick up any malware that the first scan missed.

Let us know the outcome.
